Undergraduate

Qualifications we accept for undergraduate study

If you live in the US, we require the High School Diploma with a minimum GPA of 3.0 plus at least one externally assessed qualification (Advanced Placement (AP), SAT II subject test, dual enrolment course) plus two more qualifications from any combination of AP, SAT II, dual enrolment courses or Honors classes.

Any subject-specific requirements must be met with an AP or SAT II.

Associate degrees will be considered on a case-by-case basis. Applicants taking an associate degree must have a minimum GPA of 3.0 with a minimum two years’ study. Please send your module specifications and, if possible, a provisional transcript to the admissions team so that we can check that the course content is suitable for your intended programme.

If you live outside the US, you will need to achieve a minimum of three Advanced Placement (AP) subjects with grades of 4 or 5. Subject-specific requirements will apply.

For further information and support on making an application, please contact the appropriate course admissions team via the email address on the relevant Course Search page.
